Problem Addressed Bats in the Northeastern North America are dying in large numbers due to ‘White-nose Syndrome’. Need: to determine how to mitigate the effects of WNS. Objective: to develop and test potential treatments for WNS and, if possible, to optimize field treatment protocols.

Methods/ treatments to try: Collaborative research team is in the process of determining what agents will be tested (based upon ability to kill Geomyces destructans - the putative causative agent – and upon safety profiles) Current Candidates include: Terbinafine-based treatments (this drug is the safest of the commonly used antifungal pharmaceuticals) Slow-release terbinafine subcutaneous implants Single use long acting terbinafine cream Terbinafine/citral spray Volatile Organic Compounds

Captive Experiments (field experiments to be determined) Will be conducted in highly controlled environmental chambers - The Bucknell Bat Caves Affected animals will be captured in the field, treated, and hibernated for 4.5 mo. Survivorship and overall health will be assessed.

Status/Utility The development of successful treatment regimes will allow for the design of mitigation strategies for bats affected by WNS This includes : Treatment of bats in free-ranging conditions Treatment of bats in support of ‘captive assurance populations’ – should they be initiated.
